Statistical Physics of Biological Systems: epidemic models, branching processes, evolutionary dynamics. The model is shown to possess an ordered phase at low temperatures and a continuous transition to the high temperature disordered phase at any q ≥ 1. This classic text, first published in 1972, is designed for graduate physics courses in statistical mechanics. Although system size and disorder are linked in a statistical physics description of fracture, the two parameters have typically been treated separately. I was doing classical geophysics until the mid-1980s when I became aware of this area called complexity and chaos theory, which sounded like statistical physics, a subject I had always enjoyed. Statistical mechanics of the travelling salesman on the Sierpinski gasket. It is quite interesting in that now the statistical mechanics course is provided in Engineering. Now, in Physical Review Letters, Ashivni Shekhawat at Cornell In this case, it has been shown that fracture of a disordered three-dimensional solid can be viewed as a dynamic phase transition: the crack front “depins” itself from the disorder [3]. In 1989, I met Bill Kline, who was Once you think of them like that, you can describe them with a field theory, which is pretty much the same way they describe phase transitions in high-energy physics—the decay of the false vacuum in the early universe, for instance. Critical phenomena are what happens near a phase transition in statistical mechanics (stat mech is thermodynamics' sophisticated sibling). But is it long range ordering, i.e.
